ALICIA AMADOR BIO:
Alicia Amador (b. 1964, Mexico City) is a multidisciplinary Mexican contemporary artist whose practice seamlessly bridges the realms of painting and sculpture. With over two decades of rigorous training, she refined her visual and theoretical language under the mentorship of prominent Mexican masters such as Gilberto Aceves Navarro, Germán Venegas, Jorge Obregón, Marco Arce, and Tomás Gómez Robledo.
Amador’s work stands out for its bold use of alternative mediums, most notably her tridimensional acrylic-on-fiberglass ovoid sculptures. Through her acclaimed series "Cuerpos Conversos" (Converted Bodies), she subverts Western historical traditions—such as Renaissance figure painting and sacred art—reinterpreting the female form through fluid, visceral, and expressionistic strokes that wrap around organic volumes. Her sculptures, such as the masterfully executed Baño Turco, challenge the boundaries between flat pictorial space and sculptural presence, transforming archetypal symbols of fertility and eternity into raw dialogues on societal structures, identity, and inner beauty.
She is a co-founder of the TSArte collective and has showcased her work in over 50 solo and collective exhibitions across Mexico, San Salvador, Paris, and New York.
Her recent accolades include being named a finalist in the prestigious Bienal de Arte Sacro Contemporáneo (2023) and winning third place at the Fórum Leonora Carrington.
